Program Calendar

Netra Tantra is the epitome of the tantra of inner healing. The central theme of this scripture is the Maha Mrtyunjaya mantra, the practice that embodies the science of longevity and living a radiant and productive life. The Netra Tantra describes the power of each syllable of the Maha Mrtyunjaya mantra and its application to overcome different health conditions be they of a physical, mental, or spiritual nature.

In this program, you’ll learn the tantric method of practicing Maha Mrtyunjaya mantra, which is far more profound and rewarding than regular meditation on a mantra. You’ll learn how to invoke and awaken Dhatri, the nurturing power of the mantra, and use this nurturing power as your inner guide to identify and conquer the specific obstacles that have been preventing you from finding success and fulfillment in life.

Main points of this study will be:
  1. 14 different conditions that drain the sap of life, leading to weakness, susceptibility to disease, and hopelessness
  2. Awakening Dhatri, the nurturing power of the body and mind, and uniting it with the Dhatri shakti of Maha Mrtyunjaya mantra
  3. Maha Mrtyunjaya mantra and the mantra of the third eye
  4. Enhancing the power of Maha Mrtyunjaya mantra by combining it with the mantra of the third eye
  5. How Maha Mrtyunjaya mantra is practiced in the tradition of Sri Vidya
  6. Daily mini-Rudra Yaga at the newly consecrated havan kunda

And, on Wednesday morning, it will conclude with a mega havan. This Sadhana Immersion is an invitation to experience the joy found only at your spiritual home—the Sri Vidya Shrine.

Retreat Center Highlights

Sacred Space
The Sri Vidya Shrine is the spiritual heart of the Himalayan Institute. This sanctuary offers an ideal setting for silent meditation and group spiritual practice, a cornerstone of the Himalayan Tradition for thousands of years. Open to seekers of all backgrounds and traditions, the Shrine provides a serene, sacred space for meditation, quiet reflection, prayer, and contemplation.
Nourishing Meals
Our nutritionally balanced vegetarian meals are thoughtfully prepared to nourish body, mind, and spirit. Each of our three daily meals is designed to be easily digestible and to support a meditative lifestyle. Sharing meals here naturally fosters connection, offering both deep nourishment and a sense of community.
Loving Community
The Himalayan Institute welcomes people from all walks of life. With a blend of short-term guests, long-term visitors, and a vibrant residential community, the atmosphere here is warm, inviting, and rooted in kindness, generosity, and service. It’s a place where friendships form naturally, often becoming the kind of connections that feel like family, and last a lifetime.
Rest in Nature
Nestled in the rolling hills of the Poconos, the Himalayan Institute’s 400-acre campus offers breathtaking views, scenic hiking trails, and quiet spaces for reflection and contemplation. Walking is a favorite activity, whether along our groomed trails or meandering paved roads, inviting both movement and mindful presence in nature.
Conscious Simplicity
At the Himalayan Institute, we embrace simplicity in all aspects of life, from our surroundings to our approach to yoga. By minimizing distractions, we create space to strengthen the inner self and quiet the mind. Guided by authenticity and grounded in philosophy rather than frills, we support a path of meaningful personal growth.
Treat Yourself
Our Himalayan Café serves the Institute’s signature chai, coffee, and homemade cookies and treats on Saturday and Sunday mornings. The 24/7 Tea Lounge offers a variety of herbal teas for anytime enjoyment. On campus, the MOKA Origins Factory is open daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., offering handcrafted, ethically sourced chocolate and coffee, with free tours and tastings on Saturdays.
